"Parasitoid" wasp stingers have a dual objective. "It is the only species of the species-group with a strongly widened ovipositor (apically)", said Ilari E. Sääksjärvi, Professor in Biodiversity Research at the University of Turku, Finland, in an email to The Hindu. The wasp then lays its eggs on the spider and the larva eat the spider.

Clistopyga crassicaudata wasps find spider nests and then use their large stingers to paralyze spiders by injecting venom. The eggs are injected into its body and, as the spider rests in a hellish state of limbo, the eggs eventually hatch and the larva munches its way out of the spider's body from the inside.

The researchers aren't sure yet exactly which spider Clistopyga crassicaudata prefers to lay its eggs on, but hope to raise funding for further studies of the unusual insect and other parasitoid wasps in the Amazon.
